I understand what you're saying, GT, but the sex drive analogy is the closest comparison, in that it continually "reorganizes" itself, and can induce "strategic" AV, with lots of planning in some cases, just like the Beast. It is also something that requires regular restraint in modern life, but which most people are nevertheless quite comfortable restraining, which is what AVRT is ultimately about. No fear in the face of desire.
